need help on OpenFile()

can anyone help give an example of this function for opening a file for reading access?

I am new to this and want to avoid using fstream.h

OpenFile() has been superseded by CreateFile()
This will return the HANDLE to a file given the path, including the name of the file. It will display a message box if it fails (with the error code).

Code:

---

HANDLE        OpenDocument(HWND hDlg, char *sFilePath)
{
        char                                sBuffer[STRING];
        int                                        iError=INVALID;
        HANDLE                                hFile;

        hFile=CreateFile(sFilePath, GENERIC_WRITE|GENERIC_READ ,0 ,NULL ,OPEN_ALWAYS ,FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL ,NULL);
        if((hFile == NULL)||(hFile == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE))
        {
                iError=GetLastError();
                sprintf(sBuffer,"%s file failed to open with Error #:%d",sFilePath,iError);
                MessageBox(hDlg,sBuffer,"MyAppError",MB_ICONERROR|MB_OK);
                return NULL;
        }
        else
        {
                return hFile;
        }
}

Look up the flags I have used as I want the file to be created if it does not exist and may want to write to it.
Use Readfile() and SetFilePointer() to read data from the file.
